meaning

"I think essentially the MEANING of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result. I think it's kinda the process and I think that if you can find happiness in the process, then maybe that's it." Charisma Carpenter (Actress, best known for her lead role in the TV series Buffy, The Vampire Slayer)

Garret's Story "A Reason"

"Having aids has given me a new perspective on life and what is truly important - It’s not money, it’s not material things. It’s not having your lips like Angelina Jolie.
